You muff underhand all the terms well, and count your coils, and reckon upon taking up the Crofs and denying your felf, and forfaking all this World in Heart and Refolutton for Chrift, and take God and Heaven for your whole portion, and refolve to flick to God if you have nothing elfe, and if you meet with never fo much tribulation in the world. You muff be- lieve that Heaven is as fore as ifyou faw it, and take that and the necefl'ary means thereto for all your part, and not reckon upon cafe, pleafure, profat or fafety to the flefh. 3.
